I bought this toaster on Amazon and it worked ok, although the toasting was somewhat uneven, but acceptable. After about a year, the toaster stopped ejecting the toast automatically and we ended up with a house full of smoke from burnt toast. I opened the toaster up and found that the R3 resistor on the toaster's circuit board had failed. I have read that many other customers had this same experience with their 6330 and 6329 toasters, so I sent an email to Oster's customer support asking for a replacement circuit board. Hopefully they will choose a new value for the R3 resistor, too. If enough customers send emails to Oster perhaps they will give us free repairs.

12/19/2008 Update to my review: I complained to Oster and got a replacement toaster from them in 2007. I have had it for a year now and it is still working...

I bought this because I needed a toaster with extra long slots for my homemade bread. I was greatly disappointed in the quality of the toasting however. The slot was not deep enough, so the top half-inch or so of the bread was above the heating elements. The other edges of the toast were consistently burned, while the interior was undercooked. Overall, very dissatisfied. I returned it within a week.

This is a terrible toaster. Burns the edges and doesn't toast the middle. Wife bought it and got rid of box so no return. She tried to save us money but ended up just throwing it away.

So we've been using this toaster for the past few months pretty inconsistently. Maybe once or twice a week if that. Yet, after a few months, the lever won't stay down to hold the toast in place. You'd think we beat it up and used it daily. The only way to make it toast is to stand there and hold it down. Trash! (too "old" to still have the box and receipt)

The worst part? We bought another Oster and it had the same problem... the FIRST TIME I went to use it. I'll be finding that one here and commenting on that as well. And I'll be emailing the company.

Needless to say, I'm not an Oster toaster fan at the moment.

Ended up returning this item after too many wasted pieces of burnt bread. Even on the lowest setting this toaster toasted unevenly and way too dark on one side. Will look for another more reliable brand.
